App for measuring yardage at a driving range?

[SteveL1]

Is there such a thing?

I use GolfShot on my i-phone for on course yardage and it works great but wish it had an option to just measure from point A to point B at a range. I usually can find an area at a local range that I can hit a number of balls and then walk to each to confirm yardage. Yea, I could just count the steps but it would be nice to have a gps driven tool.

Anyone know of anything?

I have the paid version and it does what your looking for

If you touch the hole number - it has a red circle around the hole number sitting on a tee in the left top corner and this starts tracking the yardage

hope that helps

I know about that feature and use it every once in a while. I'm looking for something that works off the course during practice. I've got a few different shafts to test in an R11 and would like to hit 5-6 balls with each back to back and then measure the distances.

There has to be some generic gps mearuing app, but I sure can't find it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

you could prob just self-map a course, except instead of mapping to holes f/c/b use the range flags/markers

i know for droids on google maps you can activate one of the labs called like distance measurement and stuff...i dont think its super accurate but it will work if you zoom in and tap the two spots ... it will give you distances in feet though....hope this helps.

I use Skydroid on my Android. It uses GPS in conjunction with sattelite mapping. It can measure to points on the range, or to anywhere.

I see that ViewTi GPS has 7,000 driving ranges in the Database. Anyone use that app and feature?? I hesitate to drop another 29.99 (silly, I'll drop big a** money on clubs though)

How about MotionX GPS? It's perhaps a bit overkill for your needs but allows you to record tracks which is a measure of distance from point A to B (assuming you've walked in a straight line). It has many other cool uses too and is relatively cheap.

Freecaddie has a shot measuring feature. It works whether you are actually on a course or not.
